245 (configurable) to cancel or hold the job.
246 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
247 filenames in the PPD file.
248 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the PageSize and PageRegion
249 values.

267 status operations.
268 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
269 keywords.
270 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
271 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
272 often unreliable.
273 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
274 "crashed".
275 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
276 - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
277 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
278 printer had other reasons associated with it.
279 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
280 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
281 (STR #3084)
282 - cupsGetNamedDest() did not use the fallback default like
283 cupsGetDests*() (STR #3082)

309 options.
310 - The PPD compiler didn't localize options or choices that did not
311 have associated translation text (STR #3045)
312 - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3043)
313 - Fixed build problems (STR #3040, STR #3047)

318 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
319 its jobs.
320 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
321 - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
322 all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
323 printers.
324 - The scheduler did not give filters a chance to log errors or update
325 printer attributes when a job was canceled.
